Let's consolidate All dogs should be euthanized/all dogs are great and the owners should be euthanized Joggers are ruining our sport/the more the merrier Galloway training will help you run your best marathon/Gallowalkers are subhuman I'm sure I'm missing a few. Please, chime in, these haven't been discussed enough

It is possible to predict your 50k time to within a second based on your third 400 out of 7, given complete recovery between them, maintaining a HR of 159 during them and keeping your cadence at 181 throughout.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Here's a couple more: iPods are a fun way to spice up your run! vs. iPlodders aren't real runners and they're marathon death traps! Or Dean Karnazes is a sexy inspiration! vs. Dean Karnazes is the running anti-Christ who's ruining the world with his evil marketing campaigns! ------------- I could think of more, but I'm leaving this thread and never looking back. I expect EnduranceMan to arrive any second, like a fly on poop.

iPods are evil. iPods are awesome.

It was an obvious one. Mr. Inertia deserves demerits for leaving it out. It's the unholy trinity of running boards: ipods, Galloway, and Karnazes. If they all appear at the same time, any running website instantly vanishes in a puff of snark. (Yes, Trent, apologies to D. Adams. Categorize me as a plagiarist.) Now I'm really leaving. This is gonna stupid. Er.

Don't forget Chi/Pose running debates.

Oh, and "pure" runners do not use Garmins or watches or iPods or gels or hydration or technical fabrics. I am a whore runner by some standards...at least a gear whore. Wink

Oh, snap. I'd add that to the trinity, but I don't know what the four version is. Quaternaty? Besides, the Chi/Pose debate is usually one excited cult member versus 50 people hosing him down. It's not pretty.

Periodization is important, focused training needs intervals, hillwork, long runs and varied paces based on heart rate vs shut up and just run! Big grin

A running board is another great place for political discourse. / Don't care what side you're on, get your damn politics off my running board.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

You know that feeling when you sleep in, don't run and your training log has a big fat goose egg when you're supposed to get in your 8 miles w/10 x 100 striders? I feel like that now. What do I need to do to get rid of those demerits? I don't want them on my permanent record.

Give em to me. Oh, and really, biodynamic is far better than organic. Except on Friday nights.
